Even though it is not located in the heart of Dublin, but the location is considered good for a traveller. The toilets and showers are so clean, clean hallways. There is an elevator- so you don't have to hassle bringing your luggages. Sometimes, there is no wifi in my room at 3rd floor.

I found this hostel experience different from any other I have had,in that the people I was sharing a room with were not travellers, but people who were working in Dublin and living at the hostel. They had no interest in mixing with people who were just staying for a couple of nights and they used the space in the room to their advantage, not for the benefit of all. The hostel staff were lovely and the facilities were fine. The hostel's location allowed you to walk everywhere.

Hi there,
We do have some regular guests here which add to the overall vibe to the hostel, but haveing over 200 other, travellers, backpackers etc should be enought to help mix once outside the rooms. We have a kitchen, common room, reading room, tv/cinema room and much more space where people can mingle, chill and chat....But cheers for staying and thanks for the feed back, all the best, S

Did a job for us (a group of 10 ) who were over to watch the rugby. hostel was close to temple bar district and although we spent very little time in the hostel would thoroughly reccomend.

Really friendly and helpful staff! Quite clean considering the high volume of people living there. Easy to find transportation to and from the hostel. The nightly fee was a little high in my opinion, but Dublin is an expensive city so I guess it wasn't bad compared to the competitors.

Enough about yourself, tell them about the hostel!
Oh...wait... thank you!

Amazing place to stay!!! Great facilities ( kitchen and fridge, very important if u dont want to spend lots of money eating outside) staff is nice, friendly and always there to help u, location is perfect just near the city centre.

Nothing worked o in this hostel for me, i would recommend to buy first of all new pots in fact when i was cooking my food got always burned and badly cooked, receptionist not well trained, as they dont even know hostel policy and rules. I would never go there anymore and obviously i will not spend a good advice to go there for people who go to dublin. 19th century kitchen closes at 2 pm during lunchtime and 11 pm in the night..that is a joke and is absolutely ridicolous

It isn't fair to blame our excellent kitchen for your lack of culinary skillz.
One of our fellow Italian residents is in the process of writing a Four Courts Hostel Cookbook - we'll send you a free copy, if you'd like!
Sorry you didn't enjoy your time here.
Happy travels!

I stayed at the hostel for some days. It was very nice, the staff was cool! Keep up that good work!

Four Courts was a great place to stay. Such great atmosphere with friendly staff, it made being away from home easy. I stayed in a 6 person room and never felt like my belongings would be taken, and the lockers under the beds were more than enough to store valuables. For the most part showers were warm/hot, with the occasional cold bit in the middle, but nothing to complain about. Was also in a great part of the city.

Glad you agree. :)
Have fun on all your travels and we'd love to see you again!

The staff were great - over two nights we met three different members, very friendly, willing to help, and coordinate cabs. Twin ensuite was big enough for two. 6 bed mixed may be an issue if there is a lot of luggage, storage was available and monitored via cctv as well as under bed lockers. Wifi was hit or miss, computers available. Breakfast was good. Common areas were sufficient for large groups. Proximity to a homeless shelter...loud/sketch at night but doors unlock from inside only.

The hostel is very easy to find, close to Temple Bar, the staff is very friendly and helpful.
It is missing a bit of personality though, only the common rooms have some kind of decorations, corridors, staircases and rooms are bland.
The only thing that surprised me was he lack of of proper private shower cabins. In our 12beds room we had a bathroom with two showers that had only curtains.
But overall, very good value for money, and does the job of giving people a place to sleep and chill out.

The staff was friendly and helpful. Reading/movie room as well as the big dining hall are great, but it would be good to have more seats available in the reading room. In the 12 bed dorm, the air was extremely bad and I couldn't open the windows. Our dorm's rest rooms were pretty dirty and I had problems with the wifi from time to time. One of the staff members gave me a bad description of a whereabout so that I missed my bus. Location is good, but Merchants Quay Ireland is next to it ...

I loved it. Great staff, excellent location, and they were flexible about me changing my booking. Only thing that could be improved would be the soap containers being full in the toilets around the place.
